Dakota Fanning is All Grown Up in “Effie”

Written by Kelly Bandas on November 18, 2011 – 10:51 am -

Dakota Fanning may have made her mark in Hollywood playing a sweet little girl in films like I Am Sam and Uptown Girls, but now the 17-year-old is ready to take on more adult roles – and wouldn’t you know it – she’s landed herself one in the period piece, Effie.

In the film written by Academy Award winner Emma Thompson, Fanning plays Euphemia ‘Effie’ Gray, an unhappily married 17th century woman caught up in a sordid love triangle.

Sounds delicious!

So what does the former child star think of playing a more “grown up” role?

I think actually in films I’ve done more adult things in other ones than I have in this one… But this is my first time being a wife and all of that, which is actually kind of exciting and very fun.

Effie is currently in post-production and is slated to hit theaters in 2012.

Dakota Fanning: Fame Is Ephemeral, Career Could End Tomorrow

Written by Gossip Gal on August 30, 2010 – 5:41 pm -

Actress Dakota Fanning is working hard on building a solid and serious acting career and she is currently living a dream after being part of two major and very successful movies this year, “The Runaways” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”.

However, the 16 year-old is mature enough to know that fame is ephemeral – it does not last forever – and her career could just “end tomorrow”. We doubt it. Dakota is a super talented actress, but we understand what she is trying to say.

“I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life but I think that everything can end tomorrow,” Dakota confessed. “You have to live your life for the moment and not take it for granted. I don’t think you ever feel completely secure.”

Dakota also admits that she doesn’t know how to do anything else other than act. And, finally, she confessed she would love to work with actress Jodie Foster. Just ask Kristen Stewart! Kristen played Jodie’s daughter in the 2002 thriller “Panic Room”.

Dakota said, “I’d love to work with Jodie Foster. I really admire her, her career and what she’s done. I can only hope to be just a little bit of how great she is.”

We wish Dakota all the luck in the world. She totally deserves it and much more. There’s definitely an Oscar in her future.

The official trailer (first full trailer) for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning’s new movie “The Runawayshas been released (watch video below). They look rocktastic! We cannot wait to see this movie.

The Runaways follows two friends, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself-and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Based on Currie’s book Neon Angel.

The Runaways was expected to hit theaters this month but the premiere date has been pushed back to April 9, 2010.
